While Ethan Allen was o prisoner on
his passage to England, closely confined
to his cabin, he discovered that pin or
wire that fastened one OF his handouts
was broken. Extracting the piece with
his teeth he was enabled to loosen the bolt
and set one hand at liberty, by the aid oil
which and his teeth he soon had both at
liberty, and he was not long in liberating
his feet. But fearing discovery might
lead to worse treatment, he replaced his
irons, bolts and pins, before the arrival OF
his keeper. II soon became recreation
for the general to take of and put on his
irons at his pleasure. One day, the cap
tain, wishing to afford his crew some mer-
riment, ordered that Allen be brought on
deck, Hoping to frighten him, the cap
tain said, There is probability that the
ship will founder; if so, what will become
of us, especially you, Mr.. Allen, a rebel
against the king?' why, said Allen,
"that would be very much like our dinner
hour" "Why SOP" asked the captain,
not rejecting that Allen was allowed to
come on deck only when the captain went
down into his cabin to dine "Well, you
see," answered Allen, 81 would be on my
way up just as you would be going below.
This answer did not please the captain,
and be began regular TRADE OF abuse
against the American people. "In short
time" said the captain, "all the rebels
will be in the same situation as yourself.
This was too much for Allen, and, raising
his hands to his teeth, he soon snapped
the bolts and pins, took Off his irons and
threw thew overheard, seized the panic
stricken captain by the collar, and threw
him headlong on the deck. Then turning
to the afIrigbted crew, he exclaimed, in q
voice OF thunder, III am insulted again
during the voyage will sink the ship and
swim ashore. This exploit had such an
effect on the captain and crew that no fur
ther insult was offered to the general dur
ing the passage.

A person who has never been 10 the 20.
lar regions can probably have no idea Of
what cold really is; but by reading the
terrible experiences Of Arctic travellers 10
that icy region some notion can be formed
OF the extreme cold that prevails there.
When wo have tho temperature down TO

aud II our houses were not 30 warm ss. at
least. 90 degrees above zero, We should
begin TO talk OF freezing to death. Think.
then, Of living where the thermometer
goes down TO 30 degrees below zero In the
house in spite Of the stove OF course, in
such case the fur garments are piled on

skins. DIR. Moss. OF the English polar ex.
peditiou OF 1876 and 1876. among other
odd things, tells OF the effect Of cold on
wax candle which be burned there. The
temperature was 80 degrees below zero,
and the doctor must have been considcra-
bly, discouraged when, upon looking at
bis candle, he discovered that the flame
bad all it could do TO keep warm. II was
so cold that the fame could not melt oil
the wax OF the candle. but was forced to
eats its way down the candle, leaving
sort Of skeleton OF the candle standing
There was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls OF
wax, aud the result was a beautiful lace
like cylinder OF white, with tongue OF
yellow fame burning inside 1t sending out
into the darkness many streaks OF light,
This is not only a curious effect Of extreme
cold, but it shows how difficult IL must be
to find anything like warmth in place
where even fire itself almost gets cold
The wonder is that any man can have the
courage to willing return to such bitter
region after having once got safely ava,
from it, and yet the truth is that the spirit
